If the creation of a reserve was omitted, how would the profit have been distributed earlier?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Distributed in excess

A reserve should be created out of profit before distribution (treated as an appropriation). If the reserve is omitted, the distributable profit appears larger and partners receive more than their correct shares. For example, if net profit is ₹100,000 and reserve to be created is ₹10,000, distributable profit should be ₹90,000; omission leads to distributing the full ₹100,000 — hence distributed in excess. The closest distractor "Distributed less" is wrong because omission increases the amount available for distribution. Exam tip: always deduct appropriations (reserves, taxes, etc.) before allocating profit; use a quick numerical check.
